PUMP.

PECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 336,857, dated February 23, 1886.

Application tiled December 3, 1885.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, J oHN HUMPHRYns, Jr., of Mansfield, in the county of Richland and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pumps; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to improvements in pumps in which a round pumprod of uniform size is employed with a sleeve mounted thereon and adjustably secured to the rod, said sleeve having one or more ears, to which latter is pivoted the pump-handle, the object being to improve the construction and reduce the initial cost of the pump.

Heretofore with the better class of` pumps,

where a guide was employed for the upperend of the pump-rod, the upperportion of the latter was usually enlarged and made square or rectangular in crosssection,with a hole through the enlarged portion for receiving the bolts for pivoting the handle'to the rod. Such pump rods were expensive to make.

Since the advent of cold rolled or drawn shafting and rods it is found that such rods of suitable size make excellent pump-rods,and require no fitting, except to cut them in suit-- able lengths and attach the respective rods to the pump plunger or piston. I have there fore devised a sleeve and attachment for connecting the pump-handle with the pump-rod, by means of which construction a considerable saving is effected in the initial cost of the pump.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a view in perspective of a pump embodying my invention. Figs.V 2 and 3 are enlarged views in perspective of sleeves that are respectively mounted on the pump-rod for attaching the handle.

A represents the body of the pump, may be of any desired form.

B is the cover, with astufngebox, b,through which the pump-rod C passes. The cover B has'an upwardly-projecting arm, B', the latter having a slot, b', for the passage of the handle D,and a laterally-projecting head, b2,

the latter having a vertical hole, through which the rod C passes and is guided thereby.

The rod C may be made of any suitable material; but round rods of cold rolled or drawn iron are well adapted for these pump-rods, and require no labor, except to cut the bars into suitable lengths and t the respective rods to the piston or plunger of the pump.

For attaching the handle I employ a sleeve, `E, that embraces the piston-rod, and has one or more ears, e, for pivoting the handle.

In Fig. 3 a sleeve is shown having one ear, and the handle is consequently made forked to embrace the ear. This sleeve is secured on the pump-rod by means of the setscrew e.

In Fig. 2 the sleeve has two ears between which the end of the pumprod enters. With this latter construction, in place of the setscrew for fastening the sleeve, a slot, e?, may be cast in, or milled,if preferred, in which case the sleeve is clamped to the pump-rod by tightening the pivotal bolt F. If Vthe bore of the sleeve approximately fits the pump-rod, there will be no difculty in clamping a castiron sleeve to the pump-rod as aforesaid.

The bore of the sleeve can usually be cast with sufficient accuracy; if not, but slight reaming is required to t the bore. The handle prevents the pump-rod from turning, if there be any such tendency. The handle is pivoted at d to the swinging fulcrum G, the latter being pivoted at g, as shown.

A round pump-rod of uniform size, together with the sleeve, can be made at a considerable reduction in the initial cost on a pump rod having asquare or rectangular or enlarged portion.

In assembling the parts the sleeve is easily adjusted on the pump-rod to give the proper sweep to the handle, and can be changed at any time to bring the handle at a convenient height for the operator.

Any suitable connection may be made with the upper end of the rod C when it is desired to operate the pump by a wind-Wheel or other power.
